Student Learning Outcomes

The Council for the Advancement of Standards (CAS) in Higher Education publishes standards for student affairs/student service areas as a guide for ensuring adequate support, as well as the intended learning outcomes. REACH serves as our guide in Student Affairs to promote student learning, but the goals align very closely with the national standards provided by CAS. Here is a summary:
